The Las Vegas-based promotion recently confirmed the pairing. UFC
213 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 8 and is
headlined by a women’s bantamweight title tilt between Amanda
Nunes and Valentina
Shevchenko. In the co-main event, Yoel Romero
and Robert
Whittaker will vie for the interim middleweight crown.

Font, 29, has been victorious in three of his first four
promotional appearances. Most recently, the Boston native scored a
first-round TKO of Matt
Schnell at “The Ultimate Fighter 24” finale on Dec. 3. Font’s
only defeat in the past 13 outings came against bantamweight
contender John
Lineker at UFC 198.

Andrade began his professional tenure with 22 consecutive triumphs
— along with one no contest — on the regional circuit. After
dropping a unanimous verdict to Zubaira
Tukhugov in his Octagon debut at UFC Fight Night 36 in February
2014, the 31-year-old Brazilian has earned back-to-back triumphs
over Cody Gibson
and Enrique
Briones to improve to 24-1 overall.
